It really is isn't it?
that and Plasti Dip, and I agree with you on your editorializing.

(Fun fact, this is enough to get you off the list at the factory when the new models come out and the marketing department is deciding who is deemed worthy to purchase. Ferrari don't like it when you pimp their rides.)

I'll bet if your a Saudi Prince that prints your own money, and you collect Ferraris like matchbox cars, they turn a blind eye.

Yes, they will politely but firmly directly you to the Lambo dealer down the street. Lambo has absolutely no issue with people pimping their cars. Some even say that some Lambos start out pre-pimped....

Seen last year. I believe it to be a Tesla Model X.

Even on a cloudy, rainy day, it stood out. But, IMHO, not in a good way.

Note what would normally be considered a brightly colored (yellow) vehicle behind it.

I learned what Lamé was when I met a girl who was pumping gas into her Mustang convertible back in the early 90's

She was all dressed up - something she enjoyed doing. Had a real flare for design.

Wasn't bad looking so I threw a compliment in her direction about her dress. Then she explained what the gold colored stuff was - Lamé.

We ended up dating for quite a few years!

I thought it was a speck of food or something on my monitor.

If I had that kind of money, instead of look at me gold, I would go for Vantablack link.

Well... sorry but... I'd love to live in a world where shiny gold was normal. Think of the elementary school kids!

Ha ha - thanks. She was a lot of fun. Very sassy and great sense of humor. Also very smart. Didn't hurt that she had a nice body either!
